We welcome all veg*ns (vegans/vegetarians) in the greater Chicago area (and in the entire Midwest) who would like to give or receive support in their choices, whether they are based on Health, Ethical, Environmental, or Spiritual reasons. It doesn't matter if you discovered health benefits of a Vegan Raw Food diet, or chose being vegetarian/vegan because of your Animal Rights stands, or because of any other reasons. The point is that you see an advantage of the plant-based diet and wish to share and promote it (for the sake of the animals, environment, or your personal health/health of your loved ones). Join us to celebrate this choice and to make new friends on top of it!

The goal of the group:

To spread the word about the Chicago Veggie Pride Parade

To facilitate organization of the Chicago Veggie Pride Parade

To involve local veg*ns in building a support system and promoting veg*nism in general

We encourage everyone's participation regardless of your level of involvement: either you would like being actively involved in organizing the Chicago Veggie Pride Parade or simply wish to participate in it (celebrating with your new friends).
